Second track is slower. Apparently also prerelease do but not heard it before unlike burn the witch which has a great trupmton themed video.
Second track (didn't catch the name) sounds great on the headphones. A lot going on in massive steep stereo switches and melodies. Shrugging to catch the words, not a new feature for me with radiohead.
Track 3 is musically fantastic. Keening voice with a couple of piano riffs one through the left and distortions on the counter play through the right that becomes dominant. Decks dark.
Desert Island disc starts with acoustic guitar, possibly a classic. Shifts into Indian sounding harmonies and rhythm structures before clearing out and going pure and then drifting back in.
Starting with multiple piano different through left and right and then goes through with a guitar charge matched. The Opposing points continue through into the vocals.
'The future is inside us, it's not somewhere else.'
Complicated sound structures going on.
This is an album to listen to a lot of times to appreciate it fully.
@leuth, when I first hear the track was called burn the witch I thought this would be a song that could resonate with us.
I think we could all do with burning our one.
It's not though. It's a song about unnecessary hysteria and so not relevant to us where we are necessarily and rightly after as you say 2 years, at burning stage.
Although I have The Bends, I bought from Brittania (who remembers that CD mail order club?) it's still in its cellophane wrapper. I just don't get Radiohead; but then being over 50 may be a reason. However, the video to Burn the Witch, as being over 50, made me smile.

'You know what I mean.
Different times alone.
I pass the ball.'
Fantastic.
Heavy beats in. The beat is driving this one, it's a massive circular hook.
Oh the guitar kicked in.
This is another very good song.
Slowed down a bit at the end which lost me.
Slow and string heavy. Clearest lyrics so far.
They truly hate the reactionary bullshit.
Unbelievable double vocals.
'I don't want to know.
Broken hearts making rain?'
Nailed on classic for me.
Best track so far. Brilliant.
Track 8 the numbers.

Top class.
Slow rhyming build to the start, clean vocals, massive second choir in the right ear.
This is another classic. Simply brilliant.
My favourite track so far.
'You are lost, I am lost, in you I'm lost.'
Track 10 tinker tailor rich man poor man beggar man theif. (Had to edit that very heavily there, been a long day in the sun with the wine)
Slow number, texturally rich but not grabbing me yet this one, weakest track so far on this first listen.
This is brilliant again.
Don't leave.

Top work.
